Brief Summary

To compare the correlation between the clinical efficacy of MECT treatment and baseline, 3 times, 8 times of treatment, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment in patients with depression and suicidal ideation. The prediction effect of -1β and IL-6 levels and level changes on the efficacy of MECT in the treatment of suicidal ideation in elderly patients with depression, and provide a theoretical basis for further research on the mechanism of MECT in the treatment of elderly depression with suicidal ideation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change level of IL-6 compared with baseline at the end of MECT treatment.

    Serum IL-6 levels were measured at baseline, 3 times of treatment, 8 times of treatment, 1 week of treatment and 2 weeks of treatment. At the same time, SIOSS, BSI-CV, HDRS-17 and MADRS were used to comprehensively evaluate the clinical symptoms of elderly patients with depression.

    baseline;through treatment 3 times, an average of 3 day;through treatment 8 times, an average of two weeks; three weeks;four weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change level of IL-1β compared with baseline at the end of MECT treatment.

    baseline;through treatment 3 times, an average of 3 day;through treatment 8 times, an average of two weeks; three weeks;four weeks

Study Arms (1)

Elderly depression patients with suicidal ideation

Conformity: Age 60-85 years old; meet DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder; currently in acute phase, HDRS-17 ≥ 24; history of suicide attempt in this depressive episode; current suicidal ideation, SIOSS ≥ 12.Exclusions: Patients with unstable physical diseases; patients currently suffering from acute inflammatory infection or chronic inflammatory disease; participated in another interventional clinical study within the past 1 month; previous or current diagnosis of other psychiatric diseases by DSM-IV ; abuse of alcohol and active drugs within 12 months, except for nicotine; severe aphasia, visual and hearing impairment, etc. unable to complete the scale evaluation; MECT treatment contraindications; pregnant, lactating women or planning pregnancy; allergic to propofol and succinylcholine chloride.

Procedure: modified electroconvulsive therapy

Interventions

The patient underwent MECT therapy. The treatment instrument is Xingmaitong IV ECT multifunctional treatment instrument (USA, SOMATICS THYMATRON company), fasting for 6 hours before surgery, emptying urine. Routine preoperative preparations were made, followed by intravenous injection of atropine, propofol, and succinylcholine chloride injection, artificial respiration, placement of dental pads, and electroconvulsive therapy. The whole process is completed by an anesthesiologist and a therapist in cooperation with each other. The first 3 times are once a day, and the next 5 times are once every other day. A total of 8 courses of treatment.
